new** pics of my new paint+ghost stuff

Here we go finally got my spoielr on today, entire car was taken to metal all the dings taken out and blocked, everything was shot in ppg primer with a ppg dark bright teal metallic, the factory color, the stripes are a bright silver metallic with blue green pearl and a hint of teal paint also all ppg, THE car has been all color sannded and buffed out to a mirror finish, it was shot in a garage here in aurora by brian nehring, cost me 3k and it was definately worth it, we managed to get a full ghost effect out of the stripes despite it not being under a candy paint. THis thing gets looks now for sure and lots of people asking who did my paint and body. I am super happy, pics of ghost are super hard to take i might have gotten a few in here but not fully standing out, teh center stripe and fender hashes are grand sport vette style and i also have cowl induction down the hood, all ghost and switched to silver and black rs emblems, kinda in a hurry so i'll get more details to you in a few hours. here ya go as typical of me my pics came out crappy, i'm asking for a new camera for my birthday.


EDIT the guy i got the rs from came out with some nice pics jsut try to get them to load.

Dude your paint looks great
Did you have it clear coated or is it single stage paint?

Yep it is cleared ppg too, i guess they recommend 2-3 coats of primer, he said he always sprayed 4-5 so there was no chance of cutting through when he color sanded and buffed it out to remove the orange peel. Still waiting on the new pics, Apparently finishmasters who he went through to get teh paint and supplies said this is one of the most expensive colors for a regualr paint, not counting candy, most expensive stock color he had seen

Great paint work! I'm not really digging the big hood, but the car looks well detailed.
